A Weapon Most Deadly!

by Al Case

The simple towel has got to be considered as one of the deadliest weapons in the martial arts. This weapon should be outlawed…it is that deadly. The deepest, darkest prison is where anybody caught with a towel should be thrown!

It is common knowledge that a towel moves at a fantastic speed. The end of a towel can move at faster than one hundred miles an hour when flicked by the capable hand. Split skin and huge welts are the result of the speeding tip of a towel!

There is one trick that make a towel even more deadly. By dipping the end of the towel into water one can cause even greater pain, and inflict even more damage! A towel tip dipped into water, you must understand, is going to have more weight, and more integrity when striking.

Another thing to consider, when considering the towel, is that it is easily hidden. In fact, it is hidden in plain sight! Who, on earth, is scared of a simple towel draped around the waist, eh?

One should consider that the times one wears is a towel are the times that one is most easily attacked. After all, you have no apparent means of defending yourself! People simply dont want to attack somebody who is holding some sort of martial arts weapon.

If you have just been for a swim, or popped out of the shower, that is the time when you are most unarmed, and nobody is going to be scared of you. Being unarmed is the time when muggers are going to most eager to seek you out. That is the time when the big, bad mugger is going to want to attack you!

When attacked wearing a towel, however, you wont need to scream in fear and search frantically for a weapon. All you have to do is let the towel drop to the floor, which (it is hoped) will give your attacker a shock of the severe kind. Then, you dance the dance and flick the flick., and the mugger will shortly be running for cover!

You think this article is a joke? Consider that Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest swordsman that ever lived, was once accosted in a bathhouse by a dozen sword wielding attackers. Using only his towel, and his, uh, natural talents, he chased the swordsmen from the bathhouse and down the street!
